Expert Reviews of the Burton Process Snowboard
Leonid Cha The Burton Process is a board so popular that it is a basic piece of the lineup. Because of its versatility, it fits the needs of pro riders and beginners who prefer a long-lasting board. It has sandwich construction and is resistant to deformation while also handling considerable payloads. The board's profile remains the most important thing to consider. It has two profiles. The camber in my variant is different than in the Flying V version, making the edge grip better, giving it more pop, and making it livelier, especially for carving or hitting the side jumps. The stiffness of the board is 3 out of 10, so it is quite soft. It is narrow where the nose and tail are to make it light. The core is made from a buoyant and durable wood species, offering both strength and lightweight properties. The outside of the board is two layers of fiberglass above and below the core. The snowboard's surface is robust, created through a sintering process, and is receptive to waxing. The Burton Process is an airy and energetic board with hybrid camber. It is characterized by its strength, dynamism, responsiveness, stability, and forgiveness of rider errors. It's suitable for any riding style, from various slopes to freestyle.

FAQs
What do you love about this product?
Leonid Cha The way Burton Process Snowboard integrates versatility and style is what I like most. Its capability to cope with different jumps as well as freestyling is outstanding. It has a design that allows for flexibility coupled with soft stiffness. It feels like it was invented for the sake of enhancing confidence and enjoyment of the mountainside.
What was your favorite moment with this gear?
Leonid Cha I'll never forget a day late in the season right after a fresh snowfall. I hit a hidden run, covered in perfect powder. Every turn felt like art, but the real thrill came at a natural jump I'd always wanted to try. That day, I went for it. Launching into the air, time slowed, and the landing was buttery smooth. Riding away, I was just grinning ear to ear. It wasn't just a jump — it felt like flying.
Why did you choose this product?
Leonid Cha I wanted something that could handle my adventurous streak on the slopes, whether I was chasing powder or hitting the park. Its reputation for versatility and fun was a huge draw. Plus I had heard that it's a favorite among pros and beginners alike.
What is the value for the money versus other options?
Leonid Cha When I was weighing up snowboards, the Burton Process really stood out. It's versatile without costing a fortune. Compared to the Lib Tech T.Rice Pro, it's friendlier on the wallet and more adaptable. The Salomon Huck Knife is fun, but the Process just brings more to the table, especially off-park. And while the K2 Raygun is great for beginners, the Process grows with you. It's a smart investment for real snowboarding enthusiasts.
